- Why Trust Us
Whether you're looking for an investment style or an affordable purchase, it always helps to get a recommendation. And for today's topic of choice—boots—we've got plenty (10 to be exact). It's almost fall, after all. While we've already discussed all the boot trends for the season, it's time to talk about where it's worth making the purchase. I've been waiting months to pair mine with everything from midi dresses to maxi skirts to trousers, so it's been something that I've been putting thought into both personally and professionally.
There are thousands of options to choose from, but since I'm an editor, I get to personally test out the top-selling brands, spend hours sifting through reviews, and take notes from my fellow editors' recommendations. It's a team effort, and we're sharing the knowledge to make your shopping experience a lot easier.
Below, I've broken down the best places to buy different types of boots. You'll find what you're looking for, whether it's moto boots or sleek knee-highs. Keep scrolling to find your pick.
Best for Making a Statement: Zara
A pair of statement boots is an easy way to liven up any outfit, and Zara has got plenty of options. It'll only take you a few scrolls on the website before you want to add a pair of distressed lug-sole or cowboy boots to your cart.
Best for Keeping Cozy: Ugg
Ugg has been the cozy boots destination for years, and I don't see that stopping anytime soon. Every year, it releases a brand-new style that sells out because an A-list celebrity is spotted wearing it. (Last year, it was Bella Hadid.)
Best for Minimal Luxury: Khaite
If you're looking to invest in luxurious yet minimal boots that you'll wear for years, take a look at Khaite's collection.
Best for Luxury: Bottega Veneta
If statement-making luxury is more your game, look no further than Bottega Veneta. Its shoes always leave people in awe at its runway shows, so why not try to get that reaction IRL?
Best for Staying On-Trend: Jeffrey Campbell
If there's a shoe trend out in the world, you'll always be able to find it with Jeffrey Campbell. From the neon-green cowboy boots you saw on TikTok to the chunky platform boot Olivia Rodrigo was wearing, the brand has got you covered.
Best for an Edgier Look: Dr. Martens
Docs are the gold standard for combat boots—just ask any angsty teen (or adult) you meet. They take some time to break into but once you do, they're worth it. The brand makes boots that are durable for any kind of weather and add an instant edge factor to your look.
Best for Staples: Vagabond Shoemakers
If you're looking for boots that are stylish and sleek, Vagabond is the brand to look at. You'll find plenty of sleek knee-high or ankle-length leather boots to choose from. Think of Vagabond's boots as the kind you can reach for almost every day.
Best for Affordability: H&M
Boots can get pricey, but H&M always has a ton of under-$100 options for those on a budget.
Best for Western: Free People
Free People is known for its signature boho style, so it's no secret that the retailer has plenty of Western boots to choose from. Whether you pick from the in-house brands or the others offered on its site, I've heard nothing but rave reviews.
Best for Croc-Effect: Paris Texas
I hadn't heard of Paris Texas till I came to work atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing and was taken away by how many members of my team came to recommend the brand. While it offers many kinds of boots, its croc-effect styles stand out as the best on the market.
